* netlink: allow large data transfers from user-spacePablo Neira Ayuso2013-06-071-2/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I can hit ENOBUFS in the sendmsg() path with a large batch that is composed of many netlink messages. Here that limit is 8 MBytes of skbuff data area as kmalloc does not manage to get more than that. While discussing atomic rule-set for nftables with Patrick McHardy, we decided to put all rule-set updates that need to be applied atomically in one single batch to simplify the existing approach. However, as explained above, the existing netlink code limits us to a maximum of ~20000 rules that fit in one single batch without hitting ENOBUFS. iptables does not have such limitation as it is using vmalloc. This patch adds netlink_alloc_large_skb() which is only used in the netlink_sendmsg() path. It uses alloc_skb if the memory requested is <= one memory page, that should be the common case for most subsystems, else vmalloc for higher memory allocations.

* net: fix sk_buff head without data areaPablo Neira2013-06-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eric Dumazet spotted that we have to check skb->head instead of skb->data as skb->head points to the beginning of the data area of the skbuff. Similarly, we have to initialize the skb->head pointer, not skb->data in __alloc_skb_head. After this fix, netlink crashes in the release path of the sk_buff, so let's fix that as well. This bug was introduced in (0ebd0ac net: add function to allocate sk_buff head without data area).

* genl: Allow concurrent genl callbacks.Pravin B Shelar2013-04-251-38/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All genl callbacks are serialized by genl-mutex. This can become bottleneck in multi threaded case. Following patch adds an parameter to genl_family so that a particular family can get concurrent netlink callback without genl_lock held. New rw-sem is used to protect genl callback from genl family unregister. in case of parallel_ops genl-family read-lock is taken for callbacks and write lock is taken for register or unregistration for any family. In case of locked genl family semaphore and gel-mutex is locked for any openration. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | Add flow control for memory mapped RX. Since user-space usually doesn't invoke recvmsg() when using memory mapped I/O, flow control is performed in netlink_poll().

* netlink: implement memory mapped recvmsg()Patrick McHardy2013-04-191-3/+141
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for mmap'ed recvmsg(). To allow the kernel to construct messages into the mapped area, a dataless skb is allocated and the data pointer is set to point into the ring frame. This means frames will be delivered to userspace in order of allocation instead of order of transmission. This usually doesn't matter since the order is either not determinable by userspace or message creation/transmission is serialized. The only case where this can have a visible difference is nfnetlink_queue. Userspace can't assume mmap'ed messages have ordered IDs anymore and needs to check this if using batched verdicts. For non-mapped sockets, nothing changes. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* netlink: implement memory mapped sendmsg()Patrick McHardy2013-04-191-6/+129
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for mmap'ed sendmsg() to netlink. Since the kernel validates received messages before processing them, the code makes sure userspace can't modify the message contents after invoking sendmsg(). To do that only a single mapping of the TX ring is allowed to exist and the socket must not be shared. If either of these two conditions does not hold, it falls back to copying.

* netlink: add netlink_skb_set_owner_r()Patrick McHardy2013-04-191-3/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For mmap'ed I/O a netlink specific skb destructor needs to be invoked after the final kfree_skb() to clean up state. This doesn't work currently since the skb's ownership is transfered to the receiving socket using skb_set_owner_r(), which orphans the skb, thereby invoking the destructor prematurely. Since netlink doesn't account skbs to the originating socket, there's no need to orphan the skb. Add a netlink specific skb_set_owner_r() variant that does not orphan the skb and use a netlink specific destructor to call sock_rfree().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The netlink_diag can be built as a module, just like it's done in unix sockets. The core dumping message carries the basic info about netlink sockets: family, type and protocol, portis, dst_group, dst_portid, state. Groups can be received as an optional parameter NETLINK_DIAG_GROUPS. Netlink sockets cab be filtered by protocols. The socket inode number and cookie is reserved for future per-socket info retrieving. The per-protocol filtering is also reserved for future by requiring the sdiag_protocol to be zero. The file /proc/net/netlink doesn't provide enough information for dumping netlink sockets. It doesn't provide dst_group, dst_portid, groups above 32. v2: fix NETLINK_DIAG_MAX. Now it's equal to the last constant. Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> Cc: "David S.

I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

It appears netlink_release() should use kfree_rcu() instead of kfree() for the listeners structure as it may be used by other cpus using RCU protection. netlink_release() must set to NULL the listeners pointer when it is about to be freed. Also have to protect netlink_update_listeners() and netlink_has_listeners() if listeners is NULL. Add a nl_deref_protected() lockdep helper to properly document which locks protects us.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace netlink_set_nonroot by one new field `flags' in struct netlink_kernel_cfg that is passed to netlink_kernel_create. This patch also renames NL_NONROOT_* to NL_CFG_F_NONROOT_* since now the flags field in nl_table is generic (so we can add more flags if needed in the future). Also adjust all callers in the net-next tree to use these flags instead of netlink_set_nonroot. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* scm: Don't use struct ucred in NETLINK_CB and struct scm_cookie.Eric W. Biederman2012-09-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Passing uids and gids on NETLINK_CB from a process in one user namespace to a process in another user namespace can result in the wrong uid or gid being presented to userspace. Avoid that problem by passing kuids and kgids instead. - define struct scm_creds for use in scm_cookie and netlink_skb_parms that holds uid and gid information in kuid_t and kgid_t. - Modify scm_set_cred to fill out scm_creds by heand instead of using cred_to_ucred to fill out struct ucred. This conversion ensures userspace does not get incorrect uid or gid values to look at. - Modify scm_recv to convert from struct scm_creds to struct ucred before copying credential values to userspace. - Modify __scm_send to populate struct scm_creds on in the scm_cookie, instead of just copying struct ucred from userspace. - Modify netlink_sendmsg to copy scm_creds instead of struct ucred into the NETLINK_CB.

| * netlink: fix possible spoofing from non-root processesPablo Neira Ayuso2012-08-241-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers. The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in two ways: a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped. b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any message not coming from the kernel. However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility. So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd, know that the event was triggered by some user-space action. Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink. This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink userspace communication. Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default, I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| * netlink: Make the sending netlink socket availabe in NETLINK_CBEric W. Biederman2012-08-141-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sending socket of an skb is already available by it's port id in the NETLINK_CB. If you want to know more like to examine the credentials on the sending socket you have to look up the sending socket by it's port id and all of the needed functions and data structures are static inside of af_netlink.c. So do the simple thing and pass the sending socket to the receivers in the NETLINK_CB. I intend to use this to get the user namespace of the sending socket in inet_diag so that I can report uids in the context of the process who opened the socket, the same way I report uids in the contect of the process who opens files.

* | af_netlink: force credentials passing [CVE-2012-3520]Eric Dumazet2012-08-211-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a kernel bug. The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not including any such data at all or including the correct data from the peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX). This bug was introduced in commit 16e572626961 (af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default) This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as before the regression. Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it might break some programs.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still left in the original interface. That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows easy extensibility of this interface in the future. This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

* genetlink: Build a generic netlink family module aliasNeil Horman2012-05-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generic netlink searches for -type- formatted aliases when requesting a module to fulfill a protocol request (i.e. net-pf-16-proto-16-type-<x>, where x is a type value). However generic netlink protocols have no well defined type numbers, they have string names. Modify genl_ctrl_getfamily to request an alias in the format net-pf-16-proto-16-family-<x> instead, where x is a generic string, and add a macro that builds on the previously added MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_NAME macro to allow modules to specifify those generic strings. Note, l2tp previously hacked together an net-pf-16-proto-16-type-l2tp alias using the MODULE_ALIAS macro, with these updates we can convert that to use the PROTO_NAME macro.
